Debian machines sometimes have a problem with loading rc.local a little too 
quickly. Putting "sleep 1" or "sleep 5" before loading your firewall rules 
should make it reliable. (see further http://askubuntu.com/a/556563)

Just adding my 2 cents to this conversation...

The file "/rw/config/rc.local" does not consistently execute on Debian-8 and I 
find that the VM has to be restarted (sometimes multiple times) for it to take 
effect.  The file is executable and all I am trying to do is allow traffic from 
some other VM(s) as per the instructions in 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/firewall/.

The contents of the file is below:

#!/bin/sh

# This script will be executed at every VM startup, you can place your own
# custom commands here. This include overriding some configuration in /etc,
# starting services etc.
#
# You need to make this script executable to have it enabled.

# Example for overriding the whole CUPS configuration:
#  rm -rf /etc/cups
#  ln -s /rw/config/cups /etc/cups
#  systemctl --no-block restart cups
iptables -I INPUT -s 10.137.2.22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -s 10.137.2.24 -j ACCEPT
/rw/config/rc.local (END)

How can I ensure that the script executes reliably?

Yes, I did.

And it seems to be working.  I must have been confused at some point with
too many windows open in different VM's.  :)

Apologies for the mistaken report.

[qubes-users] /rw/config/rc.local on debian-8

[johnyjukya]

/rw/config/rc.local doesn't seem to be run on startup in debian-8
(3.2-testing).

What is supposed to launch this?  systemd, another startup script, or
something dom0-related?

I added "/rw/config/rc.local" to "/etc/rc.local" and it works, but was
wondering what might be the official way to do this, and if this is a bug.

Thanks.

JJ
